Toyota 2000GT in the UK

[v8250]

Gents, odd request here. I'm a big fan of the uber rare 2000GT and haven't seen one in the flesh for years. Anyone know of one currently for sale or on display in the UK? Would just like to take a close up look and may be take some pics.

I am not sure if it is still the case, but this was the only one permanently based in the UK.

Thank you, James. Will give them a call + they also appear to have a firm future classic...the mightily crazy Carver One. Guess most of us remember the Top Gear review...

One was on the field at the Toyota Enthusiasts Club meet a couple of weeks ago. Nice lady drove it there, apparently.

Coincidentally I saw a red 2000gt on the road in Rickmansworth Herts just last weekend. I presume now it was the car in the post above.
Never seen one before on the road, doubt I will again.
Annoyingly I was pushing my daughter on a swing when it drove past the park and couldn't get my phone out quick enough for a pic.

If it's the one I'm thinking about then the lady hires it out but only for filmwork. I think jamesatcandsc has the contact details. Might make an exception for a good cause.

There was white one in East Kent in the 70's, but no idea whatever happened to it..............bet the owner wishes he still had it!

At the time, it was supposed to be one of only two in the UK.
